Help keep a free food pantry open for elderly neighbors in Ikeja.

Since 2021, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Wednesday from the back of the parish hall. We started with 11 families, and now we feed 151 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 48% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 19 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Ikeja market and keep every receipt.
Each $5 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $300 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $105
• Refrigeration and electricity: $50
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $145
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kunle
It's all in the list in the story. rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale) is the big one at $105, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Happy to explain more.

You're not alone, Kunle. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Warren but we're thinking of you. Love from Warren.
Keep going, Kunle. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Tokyo but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Tokyo.
Stay strong. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Pune.
